DHAKA: The Israeli military fired about 20 shells into southern Lebanon on Sunday without causing any damage after rockets were launched in the opposite direction.

A Lebanese security official said, reports The Voice of Russia.

The barrage came after the Israeli military said it had responded to rockets that reportedly struck an open field west of the town of Kyriat Shmona without causing any casualties or damage.
